Introduction the quantities of This Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR) is submitted by Union Electric Co., dba Ameren Missouri, in accordance with the radioactive liquid and requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a and 10 CFR 72.44(d)(3), Callaway Energy gaseous effluents and CenterTechnical Specification 5.6.3, and HI-STORM UMAX Certificate of solid waste released Compliance Section 5.1.c. This report is for the period January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. fromtheunit. The The doses to the Member of the Public from all liquid and gaseous report also includes an effluents discharged during the reporting period were small fractions of annual summary of the NRC and EPA regulatory limits and the Radioactive Effluent Control hourly meteorological limits in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.
data collected during the To maximize consistency, aid in the review by Members of the Public, and to allow easier industry- wide comparison of the data, this report is year and an assessment presented in the format recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.21, revision of radiation dose to the 2, insofar as is practicable.
Member of the Public Radionuclide concentrations in liquid and gaseous effluents were obtained from liquid and gaseous by effluent sampling and radiological analysis in accordance with the requirements of FSAR-SP/ODCM Radiological Effluent Control (REC) Table 16.11-1 and Table 16.11-4. Gamma spectroscopy was the primary analysis technique used to determine the radionuclide composition and effluents.
[ I
Callaway Energy Center 2016 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report concentration of liquid and gaseous effluents. Composite samples were analyzed for the hard to detect nuclides by an independent laboratory. Tritium and gross alpha were measured for both liquid and gaseous effluents using liquid scintillation counting and gas flow proportional counting techniques, respectively. The total radioactivity in effluent releases was determined from the measured concentrations of each radionuclide present and the total volume of effluents discharged.
The concept of average energy is not applicable to the Callaway Plant radiological effluent monitoring program since the release rate limits for fission and activation gases in gaseous effluent are not based on the average energy of the radionuclide mixture.
The Radiological Effluent Control (REC) limits applicable to the release of radioactive material in liquid and gaseous effluents are provided below.
Regulatory Limits The Callaway regulatory limits are provided in the Radiological Effluent Controls in FSAR-SP/ODCM Chapter 16.11.

Appendix C Corrections to the 2010- 2015 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Reports
Regulatory Limits The Callaway regulatory limits are provided in the Radiological Effluent Controls in ESAR SP/ODCM Chapter 16.11.
Fission and Activation Gases (Noble Gases)
The dose rate due to radioactive noble gases released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to less than or equal to 500 mrem/yr to the total body and less than or equal to 3000 mrem/yr to the skin.
The air dose due to noble gases released in gaseous effluents, from each unit, to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to the following:
- c. During any calendar quarter: Less than or equal to 5 mrad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 10 mrad for beta radiation; and
- d. During any calendar year: Less than or equal to 10 mrad for gamma radiation and less than or equal to 20 mrad for beta radiation.
Radioiodine, Tritium, And Particulates The dose rate due to lodine-131 and lodine-133, tritium and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight (8) days released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to less than or equal to 1500 mrem/yr to any organ.
The dose to a Member of the Public from lodine-131 and lodine-133, tritium, and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight (8) days in gaseous effluents released to areas at and beyond the site boundary shall be limited to the following:
- c. During any calendar quarter: Less than or equal to 7.5 mrem to any organ; and
- d. During any calendar year: Less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ.
Liquid Effluents The concentration of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to unrestricted areas shall be limited to 10 times the concentrations specified in 10 CFR 20 Appendix B To Part 20, Table 2, Column 2 (Effluent Concentrations) for radionuclides other than dissolved or entrained noble gases. For dissolved or entrained noble gases, the concentration shall be limited to 2.OE-04 iCi/mL total activity.
The dose or dose commitment to an Individual from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released to unrestricted areas shall be limited:
- c. During any calendar quarter to less than or equal to 1.5 mrem to the total body and less than or equal to 5 mrem to any organ; and
- d. During any calendar year to less than or equal to 3 mrem to the whole body and to less than or equal to 10 mrem to any organ.
Uranium Fuel Cycle Sources The annual (calendar year) dose or dose commitment to any Member of the Public due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall be limited to less than or equal to 25 mrem to the total body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem.
Measurements of Radioactivity For the years 2010- 2015, radionuclide concentrations in liquid and gaseous effluents were obtained by effluent sampling and radiological analysis in accordance with the requirements of FSAR-SP/ODCM REC Table 16.11-1 and Table 16.11-4. Gamma spectroscopy was the primary analysis technique used to determine the radionuclide composition and concentration of liquid and gaseous effluents. Composite samples were analyzed for the hard to detect nuclides by an independent laboratory. Tritium and gross alpha were measured for both liquid and gaseous effluents using liquid scintillation counting and gas flow proportional counting techniques, respectively. The total radioactivity in effluent releases was determined from the measured concentrations of each radionuclide present and the total volume of effluents discharged.
The concept of average energy is not applicable to the Callaway Plant radiological effluent monitoring program since the release rate limits for fission and activation gases in gaseous effluent are not based on the average energy of the radionuclide mixture.

16.11.2.1.2 BASES This section is provided to ensure that the dose at any time at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 to UNRESTRICTED AREAS. The dose rate limits are the 16.11-10 Rev. OL-22a 11/16
CALLAWAY - SP doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20.1-20.601, Appendix B, Table II, Column 1. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseous effluents will not result in the exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC in an UNRESTRICTED AREA, either within or outside the SITE BOUNDARY, to annual average concentrations exceeding the dose limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20 10 CFR 20.1301. For MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of that MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will usually be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for the SITE BOUNDARY. Examples of calculations for such MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, with the appropriate occupancy factors, shall be given in the ODCM. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrem/year to the whole body or to less than or equal to 3000 mrems/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrems/year.
The required detection capabilities for radioactive materials in gaseous waste samples are tabulated in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLD's).
The requirement for additional sampling of the Unit Vent following a reactor power transient is provided to ensure that the licensee is aware of and properly accounts for any increases in the release of gaseous effluents due to spiking which may occur as a result of the power transient. Monitoring the Unit Vent for increased noble gas activity is appropriate because it is the release point for any increased activity which may result from the power transient.
Since the escape rate coefficients for the noble gas nuclides is equal to or greater than the escape rate coefficient for iodine and the particulate nuclides*,** , it is reasonable to assume that the RCS spiking behavior of the noble gas nuclides is similar to that of the particulate and iodine nuclides. Considering the effects of iodine and particulate partitioning, plateout on plant and ventilation system surfaces, and the 99% efficiency of the Unit Vent HEPA filters and charcoal absorbers, it is reasonable to assume that the relative concentrations of the noble gas nuclides will be much greater than those of the iodine and particulate nuclides. Therefore, an increase in the iodine and particulate RCS activity is not an appropriate indicator of an increase in the Unit Vent activity, and it is appropriate to monitor the Unit Vent effluent activity as opposed to the RCS activity as an indicator of the need to perform post-transient sampling. In addition, it is appropriate to monitor the noble gas activity due to its relatively greater concentration in the Unit Vent.

16.11.2.7.2 BASES Mechanical 'degassing operation' is defined as the transfer of gas from the Volume Control Tank (VCT) to the Waste Gas Holdup System when establishing a nitrogen blanket on the VCT in preparation for a plant shutdown. Chemical 'degassing operation' is the process of adding hydrogen peroxide to the RCS after the VCT hydrogen blanket has been replaced with nitrogen per the mechanical degassification process and the RCS has been reduced to less than 180°F. Both mechanical and chemical degassification may lead to an explosive gas mixture in the Waste Gas Holdup System, thus requiring the more restrictive 4-hour sampling. Other operations require 24-hour sampling.
The "FEED H2 4%/FEED O2 3%" AND "FEED H2 4%/FEED O2 4%" alarms are not required to be FUNCTIONAL. These alarms result from the combination of inlet hydrogen and inlet oxygen analyzer outputs while the FSAR only addresses FUNCTIONALITY of each separate analyzer. Only the individual alarms and control functions associated with each analyzer are to be used to determine its functionality.

The annual (calendar year) dose or dose commitment to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall be limited to less than or equal to 25 mrems to the whole body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem.
APPLICABILITY: At all times.
ACTION:
With the calculated doses from the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents exceeding twice the limits of Section 16.11.2.2a, 16.11.2.2b, 16.11.2.3a, or 16.11.2.3b, calculations should be made including direct radiation contributions from the units and from outside storage tanks to determine whether the above limits of Section 16.11.3.1 have been exceeded. If such is the case, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days a Special Report that defines the corrective action to be taken to reduce subsequent release to prevent recurrence of exceeding the above limits and includes the schedule for achieving conformance with the above limits. This Special Report, as defined in 10 CFR 20.2203, shall include an analysis that estimates the radiation exposure (dose) to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from uranium fuel cycle sources, including all effluent pathways and direct radiation, for the calendar year that includes the release(s) covered by this report. It shall also describe levels of radiation and concentrations of radioactive material involved, and the cause of the exposure levels or concentrations. If the estimated dose(s) exceeds the above limits, and if the release condition resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 has not already been corrected, the Special Report shall include a request for a variance in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190. Submittal of the report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until staff action on the request is complete.
16.11.3.1.1 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (ODCM 9.10.2) 16.11.3.1.1.a Cumulative dose contributions from gaseous effluents shall be determined in accordance with Sections 16.11.2.2.1, and 16.11.2.3.1, and in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM.

CALLAWAY - SP Cumulative dose contributions from direct radiation from the units and from radwaste storage tanks shall be determined in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM. This requirements is applicable only under conditions set forth in ACTION
- a. of Section 16.11.3.1.
16.11.3.1.2 BASES This Requirement is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 20.1301. The control requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses due to releases of radioactivity and the radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources exceed 25 mrems to the whole body or any organ except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrems. For sites containing up to four reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objectives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the reactor units and from outside storage tanks are kept small. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR Part 190 limits.
For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 8 km must be considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190.11 and 10 CFR 20.2203, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to 40 CFR Part 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Sections 16.11.1.1 and 16.11.2.1.
An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.
There are three defined effluent release categories: 1.) Releases directly to the hydrosphere; 2.) noble gas releases to the atmosphere; 3.) radioiodine and particulate releases to the atmosphere. For each effluent release category, it is assumed in the dose calculations that an individual with the highest dose potential is the receptor. In general, the adult is considered to be the critical age group for liquid effluents, and the child age group is the most limiting for radioiodine and particulates in gaseous effluents.
Thus, it is highly unlikely or impossible for the same individual to simultaneously receive the highest dose via all three effluent categories. For most reactor sites, it is also unlikely that all different potential dose pathways would contribute to the dose to a single real individual. Since it is difficult or impossible to continually determine actual food use patterns and critical age group, for calculational purposes, assumptions are made which tend to maximize doses. Any refinement in the assumptions would have the effect of 16.11-26 Rev. OL-22a 11/16
CALLAWAY - SP reducing the estimated dose. For radionuclides released to the hydrosphere, the degree of overestimation in most situations is such that no individual will receive a significant dose. These conservative assumptions generally result in an overestimation of dose by one or two orders of magnitude. Since these assumptions are reflected in the Radiological Effluent Controls limiting radionuclide releases to design objective individual doses, no offsite individual is likely to actually receive a significant dose. Since the doses from liquid releases are very conservatively evaluated, there is reasonable assurance that no real individual will receive a significant dose from radioactive liquid release pathway. Therefore, only doses to individuals via airborne pathways and dose resulting from direct radiation need to be considered in determining potential compliance to 40 CFR 190*.
The reporting requirements of Action(a) implement the requirements of 10CFR20.2203.

H-3(oxide) 1E-6 TABLE NOTATIONS (1) The LLD is defined, for purposes of these Requirements, as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.
For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:
4.66 S b LLD = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E x V x 2.22E6 x Y x exp ( - t )
Where:
LLD = the "a priori" lower limit of detection (microCuries per unit mass or volume),
Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),
E = the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),
V = the sample size (units of mass or volume),
2.22E6= the number of disintegrations per minute per microCurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable,
= the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (sec-1), and t = the elapsed time between the midpoint of the sample collection period, and the time of counting (sec).
Typical values of E, V, Y, and t should be used in the calculation.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a "a priori" (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an "a posteriori" (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLD's will be achieved under routine conditions.
(2) The principal gamma emitters for which the LLD Requirement applies include the following radionuclides: Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 in noble gas releases and Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, I-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144 in iodine and particulate releases. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. Any nuclide which is identified in the sample and which is also listed in the ODCM gaseous effluents dose factor tables, shall be analyzed and reported in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
(3) If the Unit Vent noble gas monitor (GT-RE-21B) shows that the effluent activity has increased (relative to the pre-transient activity) by more than a factor of 3 following a reactor shutdown, startup, or a thermal power change which exceeds 15% of the rated thermal power within a 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> period, samples shall be obtained and analyzed for noble gas, particulates and iodines.
This sampling shall continue to be performed at least once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for a period of 7 days or until the Unit Vent noble gas monitor no longer indicates a factor of 3 increase in Unit Vent noble gas activity, whichever comes first.
(4) Tritium grab samples shall be taken and analyzed at least once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> when the refueling canal is flooded.
(5) Deleted.
(6) The ratio of the sample flow rate to the sampled stream flow rate shall be known for the time period covered by each dose or dose rate calculation made in accordance with Sections 16.11.2.1, 16.11.2.2, and 16.11.2.3.
(7) Samples shall be changed at least once per 7 days and analyses shall be completed within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after changing, or removal from the sampler. When sampling is performed in accordance with footnote 3 (above), then the LLD may be increased by a factor of 10.
(8) Continuous sampling of this batch release pathway is included in the continuous sampling performed for the corresponding continuous release pathway.
(9) Samples shall be representative of the effluent release.
(10) Required only if Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, or Ce-144 are detected in principle gamma emitter analyses.

TABLE NOTATIONS
- 1. Specific parameters of distance and direction sector from the centerline of one unit, and additional description where pertinent, shall be provided for each and every sample location in Table 16.11-7 in a table and figure(s) in the appropriate plant procedures. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment, and other legitimate reasons. If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, every effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report pursuant to Technical Specification 5.6.2.
It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice at the most desired location or time. In these instances suitable specific alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathway in question and appropriate substitutions made within 30 days in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. Submit in the next Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report documentation for a change including the revised figure(s) and table reflecting the new location(s) with supporting information identifying the cause of the unavailability of samples for that pathway and justifying the selection of the new location(s) for obtaining samples.

The selection of sample locations should consider accessibility of sample site, availability of power, wind direction frequency, sector population, equipment security, and the presence of potentially adverse environmental conditions (such as unusually dusty conditions, etc.).
- 2. One or more instruments, such as a pressurized ion chamber, for measuring and recording dose rate continuously may be used in place of, or in addition to, integrating dosimeters.
For the purposes of this table, a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) and/or an optically stimulated luminescent dosimeter (OSLD), are considered to be one phosphor; two or more phosphors in a packet are considered as two or more dosimeters. Film badges shall not be used as dosimeters for measuring direct radiation. The number of direct radiation monitoring stations may be reduced according to geographical limitations; e.g., at an ocean site, some sectors will be over water so that the number of dosimeters may be reduced accordingly. The frequency of analysis or readout for TLD systems will depend upon the characteristics of the specific system used and should be selected to obtain optimum dose information with minimal fading.

- 5. Gamma isotopic analysis means the identification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to the effluents from the facility.
- 6. The "upstream sample" shall be taken at a distance beyond significant influence of the discharge. The "downstream" sample shall be taken in an area near the downstream edge of the mixing zone.
- 7. In this program, composite sample aliquots shall be collected at time intervals that are very short (e.g., hourly) relative to the compositing period (e.g., monthly) in order to assure obtaining a representative sample.
- 8. Groundwater samples shall be taken when this source is tapped for drinking or irrigation purposes in areas where the hydraulic gradient or recharge properties are suitable for contamination.
- 9. The dose shall be calculated for the maximum organ and age group, using the methodology and parameters in the ODCM.
- 10. If harvest occurs more than once a year, sampling shall be performed during each discrete harvest. If harvest occurs continuously, sampling shall be monthly. Attention shall be paid to including samples of tuberous and root food products.
90Sr, 55Fe, 63Ni, 237Np, 238Pu, 241Am, 242Cm, and 243/244Cm.
- 11. In this program, HTD nuclides are defined as 89Sr,
- 12. In this program, a shallow well is defined as a well which extracts groundwater from the vadose zone. A deep well is defined as a well which extracts groundwater from the saturated zone.
- 13. Edible and non-edible farm crops from areas that could be affected by a break or leak in the discharge pipeline (including the retired discharge pipeline.)

- 1. This list does not mean that only these nuclides are to be considered. Other peaks that are identifiable, together with those of the listed nuclides, shall also be analyzed and reported in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
- 2. Required detection capabilities for thermoluminescent dosimeters used for environmental measurements shall be in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 4.13, Revision 1, July 1977.
- 3. The LLD is defined, for purposes of these Requirements, as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.
For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:
4.66S b LLD = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E x V x 2.22E6 x Y x exp ( - t )
Where:
LLD = the "a priori" lower limit of detection (microCuries per unit mass or volume),
Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (counts per minute),
E = the counting efficiency (counts per disintegration),
V = the sample size (units of mass or volume),
2.22E6 = the number of disintegrations per minute per microCurie, Y = the fractional radiochemical yield, when applicable,
= the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide (sec-1), and t = the elapsed time between the end of the sample collection period, and the time of counting (sec).
Typical values of E, V, Y, and t should be used in the calculation.
It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a "a priori" (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an "a posteriori" (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. Analyses shall be performed in such a manner that the stated LLD's will be achieved under routine conditions.
